English/Enquiry
Today is a bit different, we would like you to make a 'habitat shoebox' that reflects the adjectives you would use to describe the habitat. You can be as creative as you want here and use different materials from around the house and outside. Look at the gallery below to see the Savannah Habitats the children in class made and watch the video at the bottom of the page to see what different habitats look like!
Maths
Today we will be drawing pictograms. Pictograms use pictures to show each object in data, this pictures can be linked to the topic of the pictogram or simple circles. Today all the pictograms use the key every picture = 1. Watch the video below and complete the worksheet. If you would prefer to do the class worksheet, click here.

Today we will be looking very closely at a picture from our new book. We will be 'picture detectives', trying to squeeze every tiny bit of meaning out of the image that we can. We will then use some sentence starters to answer the questions in the video. You can download and print this sheet to help you.
Maths
Today we are going to be continuing to draw tally charts. Remember we always do the fifth line across when drawing tallies. A nice way to remember how to draw tallies is to say 'one, two, three, four, cross the gate' so that your data looks like gates! Watch this video about tally charts to find out more. You can chose to do the white rose worksheet alongside the video here or the worksheet we are doing in class with the challenges. Enjoy!

In phonics we always need to go back and recap previous learning to secure our understanding of the sounds. We would like to practise this sound again at home as a number of you at home missed this sound or found it tricky! This is also a grapheme we want you to start using in your spelling when you are back at school!
